I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 870 - 868: Can I Taste It?

"Ritian Sect?" The three words resounded with a clang, and Ganei kept repeating them silently to himself, "Master, this is..."

"Still calling me Master?" Zhang Menglong said with a stern face.

"Teacher!"

"Slap!" Zhang Menglong smacked Ganei on the head, "Call me Big Brother!"

"Big... Big Brother?"

"Ah, good!" Zhang Menglong nodded contentedly, "Let me first introduce you to our Ritian Sect, I’m the Sect Leader of Ritian Sect, I’m the biggest and I call the shots here, there is also a Divine Beast and thousands of disciples in the sect."

"Our sect’s one guiding principle is summed up in one word: flamboyance. A person from the Ritian Sect who isn’t flamboyant might as well be a salted fish; we must instill fear in our enemies and make others tremble at the sound of our name!"

"If you can’t win a fight, you can run, but once you’ve gathered your strength, you must come back and fight again. That’s the baseline for our Ritian Sect, got it?"

"Got it!" Ganei’s admiration for Zhang Menglong was almost at a frenzied level, as it was the first time he saw so many exalted figures treating someone with such respect and humility, "Your organization must be very powerful."

"Absolutely," Zhang Menglong said, "From the start of our organization, we took down the Dawn Organization, then fought the Avengers to dominate the grassy plains and the Land of Light, eventually becoming the kings of the new world."

Ganei rested his chin on his hand, watching Zhang Menglong spout nonsense, and his eyes practically sparkled with stars.

"Is this kid a bit daft?" Zhang Menglong suddenly felt Ganei didn’t seem all that smart, falling for a few random boasts.

But since even Gou Dan had given such high marks about Ganei, Zhang Menglong definitely wouldn’t waste such good potential, "From today on, you follow me and you’ll live the good life."

Ganei’s eyes lit up; his entire race had been enslaved, and from as far back as he could remember, just having enough to eat was considered very fortunate, never mind eating good things.

Zhang Menglong glanced at Ganei up and down; his tattered clothes definitely seemed a bit embarrassing, "I’ll take you to buy some clean clothes first, and then teach you some skills!"

A few hours later, Zhang Menglong emerged with Ganei from a brand boutique store, a brand equated to Earth’s luxury brands, using very noble materials, even some clothing made from the fur or special organs of cosmic creatures.

After walking out of the store, their bearing had undergone a dramatic transformation, and then Zhang Menglong took him out for a grand feast.

"How is it, tasty?" Zhang Menglong looked at the satisfied Ganei.

"Big Brother, it’s so delicious, I’ve never eaten anything like this before!" Ganei said, rubbing his belly contentedly.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something important. After confirming the place was relatively safe and secluded, he said seriously to Zhang Menglong, "Big Brother, I know something very important will appear at the auction during this exposition."

"Oh?" Zhang Menglong got interested, "What is it? How do you know?"

Up to now, no information about any auction items had been released; traditionally, items were only disclosed when they were brought up for auction.

"I heard it from my clansmen," Ganei said, "On our planet, there’s a Holy Land that has a Sacred Stone, crucial to the birth of our civilization. When our race members die, they are buried there, and their bones and flesh merge back into the Sacred Stone."

"Oh? Such a peculiar thing?" Zhang Menglong knew they were a unique elemental Life Form, and this "Sacred Stone" was likely related to their racial talent.

"Chancellor, this stone is extraordinary," Gou Dan said, "With the essence of the Moha Clan’s generations merged in it, this stone is likely a very special treasure."

"After invading our civilization, they seized our Holy Land and Sacred Stone, as they consider it the world’s most precious material, so it’ll be sold at the auction."

"Chancellor, if this thing could be forged into a weapon, it would be absolutely awesome, probably with growth potential too. I think we should buy it."

"Buy it?" Zhang Menglong laughed, "Why buy it? Ganei’s my disciple now; he’s with Ritian Sect, and the Moha Clan is under our protection. If they’re under our protection, their stuff is ours."

"In short, that Sacred Stone is mine by default; it’s my stuff, why would I pay for it?"

"Chancellor, I’m not human, but you are truly a dog!"

"Hehe," Zhang Menglong chuckled.

"Big Brother, your laugh is scary."

"Eat!" Zhang Menglong glanced at him, "Mind your business with handsome guys!"

...

With both food and drink enjoyed, Zhang Menglong rented a luxurious room in the accommodation area of the cosmic underground exposition for him and Ganei to stay for the time being. The exposition would officially start in a few days.

The accommodation prices here were exorbitant; even the cheapest hotel room cost enough to buy a Life planet for one night’s stay.

But then again, who could afford to come here without being able to spare that kind of cash?

Yet Zhang Menglong discovered an awkward fact: Ganei’s martial arts comprehension was truly abysmal, even worse compared to Earthlings. Perhaps God opened a window for him but closed another door.

"Host, for them to grow stronger, the Moha Clan just needs money," Gou Dan suggested, "Once the exposition starts, you can directly buy a ton of metal for him to consume. As long as there’s enough metal, his Life Levels will skyrocket, and with a few Body Refinement cultivation techniques from fantasy worlds, he can publicly stomp the Universal Alliance and the Cosmic Martial Dao Association."

"Sounds good!" Zhang Menglong wasn’t short on money; buying some metal was nothing.

The days quickly passed, and with the official start of the exposition, many previously closed off areas now opened to the public from all star systems.

"Rare Cosmic Life Forms area, Weapons and Equipment area, Slave area... Resource area! The resource area should have plenty of rare metals to buy, right?"

According to Zhang Menglong’s understanding, the Moha Clan consumes metal, and the better the metal quality, the faster their Life Levels rise, and the stronger their combat strength at the same level. If he were to buy some, naturally he would go for the best metals!

The cosmic underground exposition’s booths were in high demand as organizers strictly limited the number, so those who could set up a booth here were not only wealthy but also well-connected.

This whole planet was a booth for a company called Ophir Mining Group, the largest mining resource developer and supplier in the universe, backed by a group of six Cosmic Empires with Level Eight Life Forms.

In fact, many formal metal and mineral resources were directly monopolized by Ophir Mining Group.

"Goodness, only pure metals won’t do, can’t eat alloys," Zhang Menglong muttered to himself, "very picky eater!"

Zhang Menglong, along with Ganei, entered this planet while learning about the classifications of metal grades, from the lowest E1 grade to the highest S9 grade metal, each grade was divided into 9 sub-levels with wildly varying prices.

"Hello sir," a smiling salesperson approached Zhang Menglong, "Are you looking to buy metals?"

"Yes," Zhang Menglong nodded, "Take me straight to see S9-grade metals."

The salesperson’s eyes lit up, a big client indeed!

"This way, please!" In the booth, all the metals were displayed as samples. There were 97 types of S9-grade metals, each with a shockingly high price tag.

However, as someone with choice paralysis, Zhang Menglong didn’t know where to start.

He looked at Ganei, then at the salesperson, "May I ask, is it possible to have a sample taste?"
